Alrik, Thanks for your post.
...To start with what you wrote last, the dream-manipulation thingie, I´ve actually learned that, to a certain extent. BUT... It only works if I'm having a dream that I´ve dreamt before (I re-dream really often, so it's still useful..) I have (but only in ONE dream) successfully tried about 6 different things.
Skip this if you don't wanna hear a dream that mobbie have dreamt for about 50 times (that's not exaggerating, it might be more..)
The dream goes as follows-
I am an adventurer, of sorts, and I'm walking, desperately searching, through a shadowy forest, searching for a place to rest, a place to eat. My bag is long empty, and my whole body is aching, I need to rest really soon.
I suddenly come to a sign, the sign reads 'Hurvarförvar-Slott' ...That translates into - HowWhyWhere-Castle. I follow the direction and finally find the Castle, about 3 storeys high, and quite small, square shaped, for a castle..
I enter the Castle- HERE is where I have made my first choice - I see this, 2 doors directly in front of me, to my left, a stair to my right, and straight ahead there is a long hallway, with lots of statues and scary paintings (this dream is my most detailed one ever... that's why it kept creeping me out for atleast the first 11 times I had it..) The first times (default, so to speak) I walk up the stairs, I enter a hallway, it's a REALLY dark place, dark, but strangely
warm.I keep walking, for a minute or so, when I suddenly see, a shining red dot, about the size of a tennisball, a good bit higher than me. (...even though I'm taller now than when I dreamt this the first time, I'm still short in the dream...)
Foolishly, I keep walking closer, curious about what that shining object might be.
I now stand, only a meter away from the red light, and the sides of the hallway start to brighten up, just a little. I can now see how the red light, was the eye of a wizard, (or something..) shining straight through his palm, that he held in front of it.
Now I run in extreme terror, the wizard casts some sort of limb-cutting spell, and the pain is to real to believe it is a dream. As I'm getting closer to the stairs, two orc-ish creatures appear, with long, cleavy-weapons.. (Hilbaerds? how do you spell it?)
I rush towards the stairs, keeping my height as low as possible. Both of them swing as I pass them, one hits my right hip. (again, the pain is so real, it usually isn't in dreams but, this one is.)
Wounded, but I cannot stop, I run towards the door / gate. It won't open (of course...)
I run (this is where I can make my second choice..) down the hallway (or into one of the two rooms.. but lets stick to this version..) and lots of spooky-creatures tries to hurt me as I pass, many succeed..
I can see the end of the hallway, the orcish ones are atleast 20 feet behind me, but, at the end I see a door, and in front of it, a snake. The snake is multi-coloured, and looks really poisonous, but I have no choice, I rush towards the door, open the door and get out (the snake bites me several times in those few seconds that I was close to it)
I suddenly am, on the second floor of the building, standing on.. what is it called... d'oh... Princesses in fairy tales usually stand on these! ...I hope you understand what I mean..
Anyhow, the Orcish ones are close now, 6-8 feet away, I have no choice, but to jump.
And so I do, I jump out, and land on rocks, huge rocks. I break me right leg (yes, the chopped hip-leg...) and my entire right shoulder + arm. I desperately start to
crawl out into the forest, scared to insanity by/of the Castle. I crawl, really far, and I'm finally safe from the Castle. (Yup, you know it.. Something's gonna happen...) I hear now, the fearsome howl, of a pack of wolves. The howl comes closer and closer, and I am already at, and passed, my limit, all I can do is pray that they don't find me. Of course, they find me, and they immediately start eating me, without killing me. They eat only from my wounds that are open, and I can feel their noses, they teeth, under my skin, biting and ripping my body to pieces.
Suddenly, they all run away, I'm just barely alive now, and I have no hearing, no sense, all I can do is move my head and see stuff. I see trees fall. I see bushes flying through the air. I see one wolfhead rolling, right passed me. I look up, and what I see is, a Giant, classic Giant with a tree in it's hand. The giant looks down on me, smirking. Then he crushes me, like a fly, under his tree.
There, that's my dream that I´ve had so many times... I´ve learned to realize it's that dream so fast that I can notice it already by the sign, in the start. After that, I can wake up anytime I want. But I like to experiment and try to make it without dying. I have failed quite pitifully, everytime, so far..
No matter where I go, I meet the same creatures, but in different order/placements, and I get the same injuries every time. Even if I end up getting out through the basement instead of the jump, I still get my arm and leg crushed by the exit, by an earthquake that makes stones fall down on me.
This dream sucks
I have no chance of beating it.. It's like a game on 200% difficulty level, always...
Hope not to many of you read all this... I get tired by just thinking of it... IF you read it, please post something, anything is appreciated
